Who We Are
A nonprofit removing barriers and creating pathways into healthcare careers.
Fresh Start Virtual Healthcare Academy, Inc. is a nonprofit organization committed to creating opportunities for individuals who are ready for a fresh start in healthcare.
We serve individuals who are seeking a skillset, need certification, and are looking for a pathway to gainful employment. This includes career changers, individuals re-entering the workforce, those seeking stability, and anyone ready to take the next step toward a better future.
We exist to remove barriers, provide access, and offer real support, not just education. Our goal is to ensure every individual we serve is prepared, confident, and positioned for success.
At the same time, we partner with healthcare providers and clinics that need support with training, workforce development, and employee retention. Our programs are designed to prepare individuals while also strengthening the healthcare workforce as a whole.
We don’t just train. We prepare, support, and create pathways forward.
